If Wishbone Ash have been around the world as opening act for Deep Purple, Who,Black Sabbath, Aerosmith, Springsteen, with more than 20 original studio recordings and several live albums to their credit, there should be a reason: they are sensational indeed. We got to know them during their unique tour in Tuscany, at Faq of Grosseto, and their rhythms took us directly to the 70s. Two hours of rock, pure rock, with the voice and the instruments of of Andy Powell, Muddy Manninen, Bob Skeat and Joe Crabtree, spacing among “The power of eternity”, “Deep blues” and “Heavy weather” towards the most acclaimed as “Rock ’n roll widow” and “Phoenix”.

There was a predominantly mature audience for Wishbone Ash at Faq, but there were also some young guys intrigued by their story, who soon have become their new fans.
